Acoustic measurements of aircraft noise in 139 schools in Hong Kong
have been carried out. The schools are located under and very near
the flight-paths of aircraft coming in and leaving the international
airport, Kai Tak. Coupled with the acoustic measurements, measurements
of the subjective responses to this aircraft noise of 2100 Chinese
teachers in these schools have been made. It is found that the subjective
responses of the teachers correlate well with the Noise and Number
Index. Besides the effect of annoyance, it is further found that
the more serious effect of aircraft noise is the disruption of verbal
communication, resulting in speech and teaching interference during
lessons.
